Emerald Swallowtail textile brooch entomology jewelry

You love them for their size and elegance. For the delicate contour of their wings. For their little furry bodies and their big bold hues.

You may have come across one of these while on your trip to Malaysia, or spied one on your last visit to the butterfly zoo: Papilio palinurus, the Emerald Swallowtail, or Emerald Peacock, native to Southeast Asia, butterfly of swift flight, with iridescent green bands on its wings.


Instead of seeing them as a flash of color flitting by. Fluttering a moment, only to vanish...

Catch one of your own.
